Battery powerd car
My grouop did a project on a battery powerd car. It had already been made so all we need to do is examine and test it so that was very easy to say the least. It was hard to get it working again so that was challenging.I think for the next time I could work a bit faster and not get as frustraited.
The brian box.
During the science group I'm we made a perpela spin using electricity. It took a few trys to get there but we got there in the end. we had to use four batterys to power it and it did power it maybe a tad to much because it got up to the point of going so fast that it span off its holder and flew up into the air for a bit.It was sort of hard thinking of what we needed to make out of the brain box because we had missing pieces and most of the instructions were gone so it helped narrowing down to what we need to make so that part was easy and hard. But I think our whole group may need to coperate and work together more so that would be a good thing to work on next time if there is one.

My acrostic poem
Today in our writing class we did an acrostic poem about the Tokyo Olympics and I also added in a polyline because me and someone else in our writing class finished early. I mainly just thought of a whole bunch of words to use on the mat while the teachers were explaining things about the acrostic poem.
I found it quite easy to write the words and because I'm just going to say it again that I was thinking of words down on the mat, I don't really know if that's cheating?
Because of me finishing early I had to polyline and with only twenty minutes left it started getting really hard and so I sort of panicked so I'm doing this post quite fast.
If I ever do this again I would definitely go a lot faster so I don't have to write this fast ever again.

The coin drop challenge
A while ago our science elective had done a coin drop challenge using one of newtons laws of phsics.
We used a cup, paper and a coin. We first put the paper ontop of the cup and put thr coin on the paper. We will have to hit the paper totake it off the cup and then the coin falls into the cup in theory.
I found it easy to get it all set up and ready to do so then I can get it in easily without having to wory.
I found it hard to get it in without it hitting the side because i think it should be a little bit more in the midle.
Next time I will try get five coins and try and se what that does. I think it might fall out or crack the glass
egg drop inertia challenge
Today in our science group we did the egg drop inertia challenge. We are using Sir iazach newton's first law of phsisics by only using a empty toilet role, a plastic plate, a cup and water. We were put into groups, I was paired up with a friend called Cejay. We started to fill the cup up to half way and placed a plastic plate ontop,
During this activity I really found it easy to set the challenge up and understand it because it was explaned so you know what your doing.
This time I found it a bit hard to not get an egg cracked because they would normaly hit the sides then crack when you take them out.
I think that I will improve on next time to try not to brake more eggs so I'm not wasting any for others to use.

M&M stacking!
We were doing quiet an intresting thing in our science class by stacking M&M's. We did a warm up by stacking stones which was very fun but hard. Ater we finished I had gotten the record for the school by getting to stack three on top of each other but I did it twice so even though someone named tyran got three stacked as well I still did it twice. The world record for the M&M stacking challenge is five which is amazing because of how hard it was. This person was an enginer so that would o helped, If your looking or a sae but hard challenge at homw then this could be or you.

Ballon madness
We used a balloon, bottle, vinegar, measuring cup and a table spoon for this science experiment.
We used the funnel and added a tablespoon or two of baking soda into the balloon. Wipe any baking
soda from the funnel and place it into the bottle. Pour about a half a cup of vinegar into the bottle.
Fit the balloon over the opening of the bottle making sure no baking soda falls inside.
Now lift the balloon and let the baking soda fall and mix with the vinegar.
When vinegar and baking soda mix, an endothermic reaction occurs. This produces carbon
dioxide which inflates the balloon. The endothermic chemical reaction will also lower the
temperature in the area surrounding the vinegar and baking soda so significantly that you will
be able to easily notice the change in temperature.
Action and reaction.
Last week our school science electives put our science hats on and learnt about action and reaction,we learnt that in every action there is an equal reaction. We used a balloon, string, tape and a paper straw to demonstrate this law of physics.
We cut the paper straw into small pieces and used one to slide on the string.Then we blew up the balloon and taped it onto the paper straw. We had our teammate Eria holding one end while Ruby was holding the ballonI was on the other side of the string holding it. Ruby let go of the balloon and it shot off to me and stopped.
When we release the balloon, the pressurized air in the balloon pushes against the air around the balloon sending it in the opposite direction down the string.
I found it easy to assemble the task because it is very simple and the names of the tools aren't too long for me.
I found it hard to understand the physics at first because there was a lot behind it but now it's a little bit easier.
Next time I will try different approaches like changing the tool brands or use more or less.

I am poem
I am Vinny.
I wonder if it's true that in WW2 the natzis played soccer.
I hear mellow chirps from birds.
I see the lovely linen land.
I want a car.
I pretend nothing.
I feel the roughness in my hands.
I touch the soft grass.
I worry that I'll crash my go kart.
I cry when I'm hurt.
I understand Maths,Reading and what's in a car.
I say things that encourage.
I dream that I was on a boat.
I hope for the best.
I am Vinzent

Lava lamps
To start off with the lava lamp, know the oil in the lava lamp stays above the water because the oil is lighter than the water or, more specifically, less dense than water. The oil and water do not mix because of something called “intermolecular polarity.” Molecular polarity basically means that water molecules are attracted to other water molecules. They get along fine, and can loosely bond together (drops.) This is similar to magnets that are attracted to each other. Oil molecules are attracted to other oil molecules, they get along fine as well. But the structures of the two molecules do not allow them to bond together.
When we added the tablet it sank to the bottom and started dissolving and creating a gas. As the gas bubbles it rose
and they took some of the colored water with them. When the blob of water reached the top, the gas escaped and down
went into the water.
I found it easy to understand the physics of the lava lamp because we had it explained well your teacher.
I found it hard to remember what order the ingredients because the fact that there was quite a lot of ingredients.
Next time I will try harder, do things faster and try to make one at home.

Bath bomb science experience
Our science group for school had been making bath bombs using things you probably have in your pantry.
After we had made these bath bombs we put one in water and using our knowledge we knew that the H-2-0
made it set off to make a fizz and nice smell.
The citric acid is quite a weak alkaline so that's what makes it do only a little fizz,because it's quite wear it reacts to the C-0-2.The oil in it is what makes it smell nice,we used camelo oil and it smelled quite nice.
This here is the science behind the bath bomb.
We were learning the science behind the making of a bath bomb,We learnt how and why it reacted.
I found it easy to understand the science behind a bath bomb because I'm quite used to learning cool things like this.
I found it hard to make the bath bomb because it's very hard to stir it and get the right texture for it to be the best that I could make.
Next time I could try to make one at home and use different ingredients which would be very cool.

Sun flower's
We were learning about sun flower's so we could make a blog and post it to our blog's and that way we can have many more post's. I found it easy to come up with the words to discript the sunflower's,It had some hard part's. I found it challenging it to find sun flower's online to put in the blog because their are too lease of sunflower photo's. Next time I will try make my sentences a little better because I fell I could do better.
